it will be a year and a half passed since sergei dz last fought the middleweight champ when faces unknown prospect on the undercard of pirog/GGG in august. before that it 10 months since he fought and almost 2 years since that fight. This guys had 3 fights in almost 4 years. This dude fights as often as Floyd mayweather.
He was hurt and had to pull of a fight with Konecny last year, and he was also screwed over since he was contractually obligated a fight on HBO ever since the Martinez bout.
No, I read that, actually, but I thought it might be relevant with regard to his overall activity. I might be wrong, maybe he never officially retired, but I was under the impression after getting stripped he said '**** it, I'm not coming back.' and that this may have contributed to his absence for some length of time? :conf Again, I don't know. But I did read the thread.
